Between Comfort and Chaos: A New Season at Our Brookline Art Gallery

In painting, I am always chasing balance—between reality and imagination, comfort and chaos, the familiar and the unknown. Patterns give me boundaries, like shelves where things can be tucked away. Yet it’s the zigzags, the disruptions, that bring discovery and surprise. Mistakes feel uncomfortable, sometimes shameful, but they are also essential. They’re the fuel that helps us fall forward fast, to risk something new, and to uncover layers of meaning we could never reach by playing it safe.

That same spirit of risk and discovery is alive in our gallery this fall. Amalia Tagaris returns with a new body of work, where collages of acrylic and vintage posters meet her signature figurative play. These paintings pulse with texture, history, and bloom, offering fresh depth alongside a selection of her well-loved encaustics. Her exhibition invites viewers into a cityscape of layered stories—abstract yet grounded, playful yet poignant. Join us for in October to wander through Amalia’s world and experience how risk transforms into resonance.

At our Brookline art gallery, we believe art is more than what hangs on the wall—it’s a living dialogue about balance, imagination, and resilience. Each painting, whether abstract or figurative, becomes a cityscape of choices, mistakes, and breakthroughs. This season, we invite you to step into that conversation: to see how art, like life, thrives in the space between order and disruption.
